Pt 22 14 Ton Plas Trend 22

Designed by Martin Bludworth and built by Plas Trend Corp starting in 1969, this 22-foot sailboat represents practical coastal cruising from the late 1960s era. With a length overall of 22 feet and waterline length of 17 feet, the boat offers a compact yet seaworthy platform for day sailing and weekend cruising. The masthead sloop rig carries 197 square feet of sail area, providing adequate power for coastal waters while remaining manageable for smaller crews. The hull features a combination keel and centerboard configuration with spade rudder, offering the shallow-water versatility of a centerboard design while maintaining the stability benefits of fixed ballast. At 2,000 pounds displacement with 760 pounds of ballast, the boat achieves a healthy 38% ballast ratio that contributes to stable sailing characteristics. With a comfort ratio of 12.5, this design leans toward the lighter, more responsive end of the spectrum, making it well-suited for day sailing and coastal exploration rather than extended offshore passages. The capsize screening formula of 2.22 indicates reasonable stability for coastal conditions. The fiberglass construction provides durability and low maintenance, while the hull speed of 5.52 knots offers respectable performance for a boat of this size in light to moderate conditions.
